US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner visit Moscow and Kyiv with a new US peace proposal to end the war in Ukraine.

US special envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner have arrived in Moscow to hold discussions on a new peace initiative before traveling to Kyiv on Sunday. The delegation was met at the airport by Russian presidential representative Kirill Dmitriev.

According to Kremlin adviser Yuri Ushakov, the negotiations in Moscow were "extremely frank" and included suggestions regarding potential avenues toward a settlement. The White House stated that the discussions involved "concrete plans for next steps," which are scheduled for public release in the coming weeks.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy confirmed the planned delegation visit to Kyiv following their Russian meetings. US President Donald Trump stated that the envoys carry a proposal intended to end the war.
